There go any feeling of achievement us grown - ups had today . Ten - year - old Nathan Gray just discovered a supernova , unseating his own sister as the earth ’s unseasoned to do so . Talk about sibling rivalries .
Nathan was looking through images from the Abbey Ridge Observatory in Nova Scotia when he spotted the potential supernova , PGC 61330 , in the configuration of Draco . The 600 - million - year - old die wizard was n’t visible in image of the configuration , meaning Nathan is probable the first human to set eye on it .
If the fresh - spotted star is confirmed by stargazer to be a supernova , Nathan will take the world ’s youngest title from his older baby , Kathryn Aurora Gray , who was only 33 days older than Nathan when she discovered Supernova 2010lt in January of 2011 .
